You can't edit the song attributes in Finder, but a third-party ID3 tag editor will do it. However, I haven't done that so I'm not how that affects the tags the next time you open iTunes if the songs are already cataloged in iTunes.

You didn't say if they were in your iTunes catalog already or not or if you even wanted to add them afterwards.

Exactly this but I've found iTunes won't love you for it unless it's been removed from iTunes then re added after it's been edited. Also some editors fields don't match iTunes and as a result cause anomalies
